In recent decades, the number of drunk driving accidents had seen a steady decrease. Public service campaigns, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Students Against Drunk Driving, have contributed to the nation’s awareness of the problem. However, despite their best efforts, numerous drunk driving accidents happen every year. While intoxicated drivers can face a wide range of criminal charges, they can also be targeted for civil suits, especially if those accidents result in injuries to other drivers or pedestrians.
